Foot traffic remained at respectable levels during Day Two of IFSEC International 2016 at ExCeL London.

One exhibitor, Tyco Security Products, is taking a different approach at this year's show, abandoning traditional emphasi...

We asked this week's Expert Panel: How green (environmentally friendly) is the security...

Over at Vivotek’s stand, for example, Emilio Sanchez, project consultant, spoke of the company’s H.265 Smart Stream compression algorithm. He said this saves an...

With the Brexit referendum this week, the polls are neck-and-neck, so the vote could go either way, hence the uncertainty. If "le...

The reason for long lines at U.S. airports is that the airlines now charge fees for checked bags. It’s as good an explanation as any of why airport passenger screening lines suddenly and mysteriously grew out of control during May (and then became manageable again in June). It’s not the only explanation floating about – there’s plenty about high travel volumes, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel shortages, etc. etc. – but it’s the one tha...
